Mindset:

Artisans are people who have devoted their entire life to their craft. An artisan is someone who has taken painstaking lengths to learn their craft or profession. They are not content to merely make an item; they seek to make the best version of whatever it is their desire to create. They are often driven creatures, obsessed with their work as much as any mage or warrior is with theirs. They do not mind suffering laboriously over their work as long as they can be called a Master of their craft. For some it is about adulation, for some it is the obsession to reach the pinnacle of their skills. However, the unifying element that separates and artisan from others is their quality of work.

Concept:

Anyone can create something with their hands and minds and bodies, however an artisan will create a Masterpiece. An artisan, be they artist, blacksmith, weaver or whatever strives to create a finished product that will go beyond those produced by lay workers and those who are forced into crafting or do it as a side element of their lives.

Advantage:

Skills Mastery
Artisans have access to a much wider array of ranked skills than any other class and have access to ALL crafting and creation skills.

Disadvantage:

Rich Tastes
An artisan will not knowingly use or wear lesser quality gear or items. They will seek out armor, weapons and jewelry made by grand masters or seek to make these items themselves.
